For his part I thought PJ played well. As much as we kicked Arizona's butt people forget they were 8-1 and their defense was only giving up right at 18 points a game. Does PJ need to.protect the ball better? Of course but this was his second start. I wouldnt be surprised if they dont platoon PJ and Cam to save a little Cam like we do with CMC. While Cam isnt a RB he surely takes a bunch of hits. I could see using them both based on who has the hot hand. That might be a way to extend Cam even if it is only 8 games.

I mean, if PJ was going to implode the team in a Sam like manner....well, the opporunity was there.   Yet, the O kept putting Cam on the goaline for the glory.  Even Cam referenced the reality of that.

PJ is a backup QB that has done his job twice for us.  He doesn't suck if you acknowledge the job he actually has.  He is a backup QB.  He looks the part.  

 

Listen, people are gonna dislike PJ walker regardless. Truth is PJ walker helped win this game, but cam is getting the credit. I get it, its cam, the emotion. But there is no use in trying to explain PJ walker to these people.

I like PJ but he is not starting QB worthy, and I personally don't think he'll ever be. 

 

CMC had 10 Catches, nearly every pass was quick and decisive to make it as easy as possible for PJ and it seemed very vanilla, the rushing game really led the way. I would love to believe we can see that on a regular basis but the sooner cam is up to speed the better I believe

Right but against NE, Sam moved the ball a few times before his turnovers, too. But no Cam to fall back on... Same is true in most non NYG weeks (just look at ATL).  The issue has been the red zone and decision making where Darnold has been craaaappp in weeks. 

PJ definitely is more decisive. For better or worse. And AZ was much worse at bottling the run vs NE (maybe this is an OL and Cam difference too.  Maybe they did fear PJ more).

Cam did credit CMAC for getting him to the goal line... He really did. That statement isnt a knock on PJ btw. CMAC is just really good.


Sam didn’t move the ball at all vs NE. 
1, 6, 12, 3, 3, 5.  That is the yardage of every Panther drive in the first half. 

2nd half 

4 , INT, INT, INT.

I still don’t think there’s been a solid argument for Cam not getting 100% of the snaps if he’s physically ready.

Save Joe Brady calling a play that Cam doesn’t have down yet there is no reason why he should come off the field.

I stated in another thread that you either believe that Cam can make all the throws that P.J. made this past week which ultimately lends credence to Cam getting all the snaps or you believe that P.J. will throw a better ball than Cam right now.

They may script 30 or so plays to begin with and then give Cam a list of additional plays that they want him to know for certain situations… it’s not like he needs to learn the whole playbook this week.

Ultimately it should come down to who gives you the best chance to win and Cam can simply do things that P.J. can’t.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      Bryce isn't a risk-taking gunslinger.  That's just QB DNA.  No one has ever said that is what we were drafting when we went that route.  That's my point.  That's not Bryce. Can you make Alex Smith throw deep? Sure.  He will occasionally.  In the reverse, can you ask Brett Favre to just take the easy layups? Sure.  He can in moments.  But in the end, they are what they are.  as I have said, Canales probably could win more games with PJ Walker.  And Bryce is a better overall QB than PJ.  PJ Walker would also have much worse games mixed in that Bryce would.

      From what i see, Canales offense requires a QB that is willing to take chances to maximize the offense. XL is also the kind of receiver that needs a qb to be risky to bring out his full potential. Its just a matter of if Bryce is gonna be that QB.

      Baker just played how Baker played.... everywhere but here. He is a risk taking gunslinger.  Always has been.  And last year was asked to be what he was.   Geno Smith was the best deep ball passer in the NFL his comeback season.  Wasn't even close that year.  Again, that's the type passer Canales has always been around in the offenses he has been part of.  The pass game that compliments the stubborn run is the deep chunk play pass game.   And that was his first investment with XL.  My continued point, is the same as going into last season.  It's a bad marriage going in.  The QB doesn't fit the scheme.  Again.  Carrol/Fox/Ron....all paired up their boring football with risk taking QBs.  And again, I'm fine if that is where we are going.  It's not my preference but that's not my argument.  I'm saying if we are doing that, we need a QB that matches it.
